More delays and crowded platforms are the last thing London Bridge commuters need after several months' travel chaos.

After dealing with some of most challenging of circumstances, train operator Southeastern recently decided to give 4,000 members of staff shopping vouchers as a thank you for dealing with the difficulties.

Speaking to Kent Online, a Southeastern spokesman said:

Each employee received one £25 voucher. That was a one-off token of appreciation... to reflect the commitment of staff in helping passengers and the hard work that has gone into delivering the large-scale changes in the new year.
